The French Revolution represents a pivotal moment within the history of personhood in France, where gender and national differences provided the foundations of society. This book considers Germaine de Staël’s and Claire de Duras’s depictions of men’s and women’s shared and diverging lived experiences to offer a new perspective on the period.
